As a K-12 teacher or school administrator, you know how important it is to provide students with a solid educational foundation. During the summer months, many students tend to forget what they’ve learned throughout the school year and as a result, academic progress can suffer.

We believe that core values should be at the center of everything we do. Progress Learning is committed to incorporating our four Core Values of Learning, Professionalism, Unity, and Diversity into every aspect of our company culture. These values are not simply there for us to “set and forget,” they are an integral part of our individual and collective goals.
This quarter, we would like to take some time to spotlight our core value of Unity and highlight some ways in which we commit to a company culture of unity at every level. Unity amongst our employees makes for strong relationships between each other and our educators. It contributes to efficient communication and an environment that encourages collaboration, innovation, and lifelong learning.
